Brazoria County cannot regulate signs in unincorporated areas. Inside Pearland, the Unified Development Code bars any sign in connection with a home occupation, though other lot signage otherwise permitted by the code is still allowed.
Because Texas counties have no zoning power, unincorporated Brazoria County sets no home-business sign rules; only TxDOT rules on signs in state highway right-of-way may apply. Inside cities, sign codes govern. Pearland's Unified Development Code prohibits signage identifying a home occupation, keeping the business invisible from the street to preserve residential character. The intent is that a home occupation produce no exterior evidence of the business. Other city sign codes (Lake Jackson, Alvin, Angleton) similarly restrict or ban home-occupation signs. Any advertising sign in a residential zone must comply with the city's separate residential sign allowances.
Inside cities, an unpermitted or prohibited home-occupation sign is a code violation subject to removal orders and municipal fines. Unincorporated areas have no county sign penalty.
